Alex Long Posted January 9, 2007 at 07:08 PM Posted January 9, 2007 at 07:08 PM GULF_FSS was my idea as a way to expand coverage over the VATAME Gulf Area since at the time there was a lack of controllers. I had no idea that there has been, ever will be again, or is, a real world GULF FSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Long Posted January 10, 2007 at 03:35 AM Posted January 10, 2007 at 03:35 AM Result of a lack of middle eastern controllers who are certified to work the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilan Jonas 860311 Posted January 13, 2007 at 06:38 AM Posted January 13, 2007 at 06:38 AM Yes, exactly as Alex said. However we have new initiatives in Iran, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Syria and more, so hopefully we can soon have local ATC instead of GULF_FSS!
